DOVER, N.H. - A Rochester man has been indicted in the aggravated felonious sexual assault of a young girl some 14 years ago in Milton.

John Turcotte, 33, with a last known address of 12 Pine St., is also charged in a second felony sexual assault on the same woman.

The aggravated-level assault is alleged to have taken place between January 2000 and December 2001, while a second indictment places the alleged attack between January and December of 2001.

Turcotte faces up 22 years in state prison if convicted on both counts.

The alleged victim in the case, who is now in her late 20s, was living in Milton at the time.

The case was initially brought to the attention of the County Attorney's Office by Milton Police.

Assistant Strafford County Attorney Meghan Hagaman said the victim came forward some time after the alleged assault, but that the statute of limitations for a victim under the age of 18 is substantial, allowing the case to move forward.

Court documents allege Turcotte "overcame (the victim) through the application of physical force, to wit, he threw (her) on the ground in the woods" and engaged in intercourse with her.

Turcotte will be in Strafford County Superior Court on Thursday for his initial arraignment on the charges.
